When a drilling company is engaged in prospecting and exploration drilling, it is often important to secure core samples more safely. Blasting drill holes is not the best way as it accompanies a lot of energy and vibration that breaks rocks into pieces and requires a lot of energy, which is not economical. Mining or drilling specialist prefer
Aircore drilling as it is safe, faster, and inexpensive. The drilling machine comprises three-bladed drill bits that are usually made of tungsten or steel. These drill bits provide enough boreholes in the earth’s crust while compressed air flushes the core samples out for testing and sample evaluations. The core samples are collected without any fracture and with minimum defects, thus giving accurate results and reliable information about the size and shape of the ore reserve. In many first-pass exploration projects that require bits that can reach a 0. 3km. Here are some benefits of choosing Aircore drilling over other exploration methods used in borehole and field exploration.
Fewer Damages to Samples
It is important to collect your samples with minimum fractures and damages, which means a slower and compact method should be used when collecting core samples. And as a business, it is all about information you receive about the economic block value that matters, and any twist in this can lead to serious losses in the future. The process ensures that each sample you collect is compact and carries all the ore reserve’s geographical distribution in the ground.
Efficient Method to Collect your Core Samples
With Aircore drilling, the core sample collection is easy and fast when compared with other drilling methods. Here you can have a continuous sample collection provided your bits are working and efficient. Different depts in this method are not a challenge, and with the help of compressed hair, your process is even made easy and simple since all the core samples are collected in the tube.
Easy to Analysis
The ability to collect intact rock samples makes it easy for your geologist team to predict and test for the ore reserve’s geographical distribution. Analyzing a full and compact sample is somehow easy and accurate than performing the same test on a fractured and broken sample. And the fact that this method allows you to collect accurate and continuous sample makes it easy for any analyst to predict and study the shape and the size of the ore. As a business or a mining company hiring a drilling company can be hard, but having the best option depends on the company’s method of exploration.
